THEYEAR IN BRIEF

The numberofBoys in the School increased to about 1850 dudng the frst t€rm. However there wereless boarders than uwal, as there was a large exodus of boys whose parcnts had returned from the Gulfand come to live in Poona- In fact the year surte<l badly for Boarden as there was thunder and rain inthe evening of the day hey arived, and lhe Bombay party was over one & a balf hours late.

June 2nd brought the opening Assembly of the year, and the appoinEnents of S , Jauhar as Head Boy,W. Momin and S. Inamke as Vice HeadBoys, and S. Sardesai as Senior prefect. New memb€rs of Staffwere welcomed - Mr. and lvhs. N. de Sousa, Mrs. Suri, Mr. Varghese, Mr. C. Dupratt, Mrs. Unni, MissFernand€s, and Mrs. Ferieda Daruwalla (Music).

The I.C.S"E'. results, which normally anive towards the end of the summer holidays, came late - onthe thkd day of term. Out of thc 99 boys who appeared, 63 gor lst divisions and 30 got 2nd divisions -according to thefu overall perccntages, and the remaining boy was not awarded a certificate as he passed

in only four subjects (the minimum requirement bcing five). The Social Sciences result was outstand-ingly good, and the overall result was one to cheer most people and raise everyone's morale.

The Commissioning ofprefects, and appointmont of School monitors and Assistant Schoolnablsmonion took placc on Tuasday, June 9th, with all the usual pomp and ceremony. Now, with football,badminton and table-tennis, and, of course, studies in full swing, he year had really got going. The boysbeat the Stalt 2- I in $e opening football match of thc year a few days later, putting the seniors in an evenbeuer frame-of-mind than usual for their Social, o which the St. Helena's girls wore invited, thenextday.

Th€ la$ Friday of Juns bmught a Walt Disney lilm "Watchers in the Wood", which tumed out tobe very different from most other Disney films - it was a horror film! Some of the Jun iors & Sub Juniorswere really quic Aightaned and had to be comfofied at bcd-time.

As usual, the boys were keen on entering the Intor-School Fooball tournament, and so groups ofSenior, Juniors, and Mini's practised daily from early in the term, and the rest got their teams logetherfor the Inter-Class Bajirao ToumamcnL which got under nay on June 29th, to be fo[owed by theindividual Table-/lennis Tournament the next day.

The first Anglo-Indian film show of the year was "36 Chowringhee Lane." This magnificent filmwas too slow-moving for thc majority of boys, but the adults and some of the Seniors found it verymoving.

As the dates frtted well this year, Founder's week was followed by the Diwali break - of about nine

days. Only 15 boarders spent the holidays in school and they enjoyed two outings in the schml bus - otheKalbhors'farms and to tonavla (via Karlacaves). Punctuality in retuming after holidays is something

that many boys (or their parens) have still not leamt'

We congranrlate Mr. Dupratt on getting married early in the Diwali break and wish him and his wife

a long and happy life logether.

November is Athledcs month, with two working days given over to heats, so that all boys have a

chanc€ to compete and gain poin$ for their House by reaching certain standalds. A few boys also staned

Faining for boxing as the elimination bouts were schcduled to begin at the end of the month. A better

standard would beiUained if more of the boys who take pafl in he competition would train and practise.

satJrday, November 21st, was Sports Day. Everything went like clock work, including the various

relays, thanks O the practice put in bcfor€-hanrl. The Cbief Guests were lvfr. and Mrs. Padamsee (from

eag:le ilasksl wlDse son is i; the Junior School. Mr. Padamsee gave an excellent speech after his wife

h4J distributed llle prizes, and a nice day was made even better by his agreeing to rhe School Head Boy's

request for a holiday which we enjoyed on the following Monday.

Thc term enrled with Boxing elimination rounds and finals,lerminal tests,lhe Junior School Nativityplay and long distance runs. More boys than usual entered for the boxing competition and there were

bme ue.y gooa tou6 inde€d. Mr. A. Irani and Mr. Mamdapurkar greatly encouraged us by coming and

refereeing ior all the bouts of heats and finals, with the former thc delightful, enthusiastic Chief Guest

on Deceriber 8th, the finals. Both of them willingly rcferee and give even the weaker contesgnts the

encouragement and COnfidence they need, seeing that no one has to takc too much punishment.R. S. C.

(referee stopped contesQ was a fairly frequent result of the bouu.

In the last week of the month Class 8 had their English and Mathematics Subject Evaluauon tesls

in Harding }Iall. The results, that came in January, showed little change from ou norm - good English

and poor Mathematics,

The P, T. A. G. K. test o select the House teams for nexl rcrm's Inter-House G. K. comp€tition was

done one moming of the last week of tcrm, and, thankfully, few if any boys tried to be fumy-this year.

Real howlers are-very amusing, but not answers writlen wrong on purpose. I am reminded of a middle

school boarder (who should have known betler!) who had be€n given earlier in the term an ordcr 10 a shop

in the town for ;a pair of games shoris'. He came and told me "please change the order. I don't want two;

I want only one".

The poins for the Cock House include Study, and, after much computing at the end ofFebruary,the overall order for the Study Cups was first Amould, second Bishop's, fiird Harding, and fourthMansfield. This matb Bishop's the clear winners of the Cock House competition, an honour they had

had to share wi6 Flarding the gevious year.

March lst saw alotof activity in the School - the LC, S. E. examination staned, and K. G. and ClassI admission forms were issued. In Harding llall 93 of our boys plus 2 repeaters were doing their papers,

under the supen ision of Mrs. D Cruz in place oflvtrs. D'Mello who had left St. Mary's Training College.As in past years, one teacher from St. Mary's School joined our teachers as an invigilator (and one ofour lmchers assisted the Sr Mary's invigilators there). Meanwhile in the Gymnasium there seemed tobe far too many children seeking the very few places that c€n be offered. It is, of course, gratifying thatso many want !o icin Bishop's, but many are bound to be disappointed.

A week'later the school sarted summe.r timings, though the I.C.S .E. €xams continued according tothis year's new schedule - E.30 and 1.30 for each day's papers. These timings used to be 9,00 and 1.00,

as old boys will remember.

Tbe last S.U. activity ofthe yearwasaga-ogetherwitlr other schools'members in our Music Room.Our boys did well in the skis compedtions, the Seniors winning and tbe Junics coming second.

March l3th brought ragedy and geat sadness whsn Nikhil Achani of Class IV A and his cousinleft their home to pick tamarinds at the nearby Officer's Mess and fell into the well there. lhe cousin wAs

saved but Nikhil was dmwned. Many staff and boys went to offer theh condolences at the house nextday, and the hincipal and Mrs. Robem, amongst others, attended the cremation, Our deepest sympathy!o the pfients and lhe brother who is in Class V.

The I. C. S. E. examinat ions continued for one day longer than scheduled because of a Bharat Bandhone day which meant the postponement of that day's papers. However, on March l6th it was all over,and that evening brought the Farcwell dinner for all boarden and the dayscholar Prefects and Monitors.Thc next day we had the class X farewell lunch. On both days the School kirchen ros€ magnificently !othe occasion and-for a change! - there were no complaints about the food, Ws were sad !o say goodbye

!o a delightful class, with theirexcellent Head boy, Shiv Jauhar, and Vice Head boys, Waqar Momin andSatyen Inamke. l.et us hope that the results arc nol a disappointrnent.

The last sponing occasion of the year was the Hockey matches against St. Petet's, Panchgani,played soon afier the Class X boys had left both schools. Our 2nd XI went up fo Panchgani, retumingnext day with the news tlat their match had resulted in a dmw 1-1. The lst XI played here, St. Peter's

winning 1-0.

After an interval of seven or eight yean, " Ben Hur" was screened again on the Uppers towards the

endof March - from 7.30 to after 11.00p.m.! This length was equalled by the Hindi film " Dushman",shown on the last night of term about three weeks later - no commcnt!

We warmly thank Mr. N. Jagus for the enormous Eouble he gocs [o in order to give u.i our weeklyfilm shows. Many, many thanks inde€d.

Easter came this year before the end of term, and the Principal invited tle residenLial staff, and laterthe Christian boys, to delicious refreshmenB on Easter Sunday evening. Many thanks.

The hnal examinations then gol under way, with Class IX in the Hall, and the other classes slit upas usual. Bishop's follows the sy*em ofcontinuous assessment" so the exams are not the only guide tothe boys' progress or lack of it.

There was one more sad gvent before the boys went home for rhe holidays at the end of the academ icyear. This was the death of Patchie, who had been fie school.dog from early 1973. She developed livertrouble and, despil€ Eeatmcnt, failed to get well because of her great age. She is buried ncar the In-gateand boys kept her grave covered with flowers for tre last fcw days of term.

The "Mango showers" carne during the last weck of lhe term, with lots ofdusty winds and thunderbut not much rain. The temperatue, however, remained high till the boys left on April l5th and whilethe saff completed their marking and attendcd promotion meetings (for hours and houn) on thefollowing days.

At the fina.l Assembly on April l5lh, we said fare well o several memben ofstaff, including, among

others, Mrs. Freny Daruwalla, the assistant Head-Mistress of the Junior School and a much loved and

resp€.@d teachcr there for many years, and Mr. and M$. Smart. Our good wishes go with them all.

LOCAL SERVICE :As in the past our boys always help a worthy cause. We continue to support two orphans in

Panch Howd. We collected funds for two old rctired sweepers Babu and his ivife, helped a servant whowas a cancer case in St. Mary's Training College. responded to the liague of Mercy, the LeprosyMission, and did much for SL lvlary's Church, Poorn. I do hope that after leaving School our boys willcontinue !o r€spond to the pleas for help in this sad and broken world.

I place on record my deep and sincerethanks o him for his excellent work.

DEVELOPMENT:Repairs, renovation, additions and replaccments have to go on continuously in one section or

Replastering and flooring in some old ditapidated classrooms - the front verandahs of the oldblock, rcnovation of some old oilets in Lunn Block, Drinking water tmughs, Extension of lhe GuestRoom, Renovation of some old StaIT Quaflers and the School Offrce, were among some of theimprovements carried oul

Two classes were supplied witl new desks, and Laboratory ables for our two new laboraloriesare in the process of being made. Getting the laboratories ready is our major project nowi table fitlings,wat€r lines, gas line and electriJication will bs done in the next few montls.

In a big School maintenance is a major estate aclivity wiich has !o go on all the time.

,,WOW !THAI WAS TASTY" THE FAREWELL DINNER

THE P. T. A. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

GAURAV CHAPHALKAR

GOVERI\ING BODY:

The Goveming Body consists of Rev. D.L. Rae, Chairman, Mr, E. Dique, Mr. B.A. Peters, Mr.N. Frederick, Mr. A.E.T.Banow (MP) and Dr. Brian C, Winde. These members have been the cause andinspiration of sound administration. Everyone of them has been of help !o me when facing some tryingand difficult problems. Rev. D.L. Rae, the Chairman, meets me at least once every week helping to makemy burden easier, and guiding me with his wealth of wisdom and exlnrience. I owe him and the Boardmuch gratinrde for their support and help.

GRATITI.JDE:

I must on this occasion thank all those without whose help it would not have been possible tocarry out oul ambitious programme of games and activities. The COC-in-C Southern Command, Brig.Farwaha, Sub-Area Commander, the O. Cs of the AFMC, ASPT, MH, TA Bamlion, authorities of the

NDA and the BEG. Their help with equipment, grounds, tents, bands and other facilities help us greatly.

We have also received much help from the DMLAC, DEO and CEO.

On the Civilian side, Mr. Aspi kani and Mr. Mamdapurkar help with boxing. We tbank th€m

and also thank the RWITC for the use of the Race Course facilities.

I arn grat€ful to all these anda host ofo0prs including some old boys who always help Bishop'sto keep ia IIag flying high.

CONCLUSION :

Tolerance and Undershnding :

OuI land is tom asunder by the lack of tolerance, by hatred based on caste, language, religionand race, and this can only improve when children are taught to live in peace and harmony and are iaught!o respect the customs, beliefs, art etc. of the various communities that make up the fabric of India.

There is an urgent need for parents and educators to wGk together in a concerted and consistentmanner !o ensue that from our School will flow a stream of boys who will not think in nanow sectarian

terms; boys who will grow into men who abhor strife and violence, who will become ambassadors ofpeace and goodwill, who will crusade against the barriers ofcreed and caste that divide us and who willthink beyond the bounds of religion and race

The forces fiat divide us are so strong thar a suggestcd plan for integration finds an impofiantplace in the new Educadon policy. We on our part must be very, very serious about it or the day will notbe far when inter-caste wars, religious inlolerance and fanatic regionalism will engulf us all to a pointof no retum.

May God grant that we do not fail !o do our parl and tnt we be moved to do it with a mis-sionary zeal.

SENIOR PRIZE DAY

We've had fun all ttte Way. . . .Gening ready for this geat day! - 3rd of Sept,ember The Senior hize Day had anived. (to the

anguish ofthe actors in the English play | ! !) Everyone had eagerly awaited this day which assumes a great

deal of significance in Bishop's every year.

At 4 p.m., that day the English play dressing room was in a slate of utter chaos' All the actors

were rehearsing their dialogues to themselves and the room was a mess with half a dozen unwanted

cosnrmes, and dozens of unv,/anted props scattered around, some of which looked even more realistic

than the ones on stage! Two bottles of make-up were missing and ttre wig of one of the actresses had not

tumed up - tempers ftayed!lHowever one and a half hours later, things had straightened themselves up - the botdes of make-

up being found under mysterious circumstances under a wig and thebunch of hair', which caused so

much anxiety to all, finally landed up from God knows where.

The great moment had finally arrived and promptly at 5.30 p.m. our chief Guest Mr. R. D. Aga(Chairman and Managing Director ofThermax) and Mrs. Aga arrived to gace the occasion. After being

inEoduced !o the Staffand Prefects, they were led into the hall where they were presented with a garland

and a bouquet by two tiny lots (who were even smaller than the gadand and bouquet) as a token of our

appreciation.The Opening hayer was followedby the School Song which has always brcughtimmensepride

to every Bishopite presenlThe much awaited Principal's Repon for 1986-87 followed soon after. The proud parents then

wihessed their sons receiving their respective prizes at he hands of Mn. Aga who had a word ofencouagement for each one.

Our Chief Guest Mr. R. D. Aga recatled some very interesting and hutnorcus anecdoes about

his school days in Bishop's, besides having a word of advice fon us Bishopi[es. Everyone enjoyed hearing

him and he was appreciated by one and atl. This was followed by the vote of thanks to our .Chief Guest.

Thus ended the first half of our Annual Prize Day. The second halfstarl€d with the English play

titled "Marriages are made in Heaven" a rib-tickling comedy directed by Mr. M. Guztler which revolved

around thrce pahs of lovers, who decide to meet at the same place at the same time.Lancelott Briggs Czubin Patell) is head over heels in love with Mn. Curtis ( R. Barucha)' while,

Lancelot's sister Jessy (Y. Doctor) is in love with the not-so well-to-do Rupert Smith (Sajiid Chinoy)while Old man Ingoldsby (V. Menon) has a soft comer for Mrs. Briggs @. Mulla). It has its sharc ofsuspense when all thrce couples clash, and when Lancelot and Rupefi overtrar Ingoldsby proposing to

Mrs. Briggs There is plenty of tension (both on and off the stage) and furally all ends well, except fdLancelot who is left high and dry by Mrs. Cunis who is actually in love with Jerry (S. Jauhar). The play

was a resounding success, and was heartily applauded by all, thanks to the tieless and back-breaking

effort of Mr. M. Guzder under whose guidance and expenise, it was a grand success.

This was followed by an English skit performed by the Middle School'The Hindi play titled'Attache Case was the last item of the evening. Directed by Mr. S.

Femandes it was thoroughly enjoyable. N. Israni played Shankar, A. Joshi as Saroj, A, Patwardhan

excelled in his role as the forgefful servant Dhania and A. Mehta as Naren&a.And, so what had stafied as a shaky, and nervous rehea$al ended up as a thoroughly enjoyable

experience. And rightly they say "All's well that Ends well!"

( LATE NEWS : As tlle printing of the nagazine has been delayed lhis article isincluded in the 1987-88 issue.)

" Gone - but not forgotten "( Mr. A. FERNANDES )

Mr. A. Fernandes who joined Bishop's School way back in January 1956 expiredsuddenly of a massive heart attack on l5th Scptember 19g8.

He ritired from Bishop's in April 1987 afrer serving the school foryears, and that in itself is a great achievement.

almost 3l+

Mr. Fernandes can be best describgd as a qui€t unassuming man who went abouthis daily business of teacbing with a smile on his face, and a kind and hclpful word forone and all.

In class, he hardly ever raised his voice, and his boys loved him for his simplc ways.

As a Scout Master he was first rate, Whether it be staying back till 6. 00 p. m.on Friday evenings, rain, hail thunder or storm for the scout mcetings, raising orlowering the national flag on Independence or Republic Day, controlling traffc ai thcschool gates in the mornings or going on camps, Mr. Fernandes was always there.

It was due to his unflagging interest, untiring effort and dedication, that BishoD.sSchool has had the honour and distinction of producing six presidcnt's scouts.

- At evety school functiotr, Mr. Fernandes aDd his scouts ryere always there, incharge of marshalling tranc and seeing that things went smootbly. The scouts willsurely niss their leader.

Although he was 58 years old when be retired. Mr. Fernandes still loved a game ofhockey-be it as a coach, a player or a referee. He could also wield the stick wiih sreatdexterity and run quite fast too ! ! !

At Billiards, thc old louch was very much in evidence when be decided to have afew shots.

At the Founder's Cricket match, he batted. bowled and fielded too-quite at easewith most of the otbers half his age, Mr. Fernandes organised the Primary and MiddleSchool atbletics, involving a large number of staff and boys. He did this for a number ofyears - very efficieotly too.

Often old pupils of his who visited Bishop's looked older thaD tbeir master whosurprisingly often remembered their names, after 15-20 ye ars - rcmarkable indced !

He was a House Master for some time and was very keen on tbe fortunes of hisHouse.

His funeral, although held on the same day as he died, was well attended by staf,present boys, old boys, servants and well wishers, as Mr. Fernandes during his long tenurehad endeared himself to one and all.

Mr. Fernandes will surely be missed by everybody.

May his soul rest in p€ace._ M. GUZDBR

BISHOP'S HOUSE NOTES

HOUSEMASTERMr. E. Pope

HOUSE CAPTAINW.Momin

The year 1987-88 proved m be a very successful and rewatding year for Bishop's House. We we.re

rightly declared the Cock House and were back to oUI rightful place. We rereived just rewards for all

the toil and sweat throughout the year, and in the end il was wonh it. We shook off the challenge ofIlarding House this ycar, by beating them by a comfortable l0 points on the overall.

Th€ fr$ activity of the year 'Indoor Games' created not many waves and all Houses warmed up,

sharing 4 points apiece.

Well, in foo$all, theresults were rather disappointing. OurJuniorand Seniors did notlive up to their

expectation. Ilarding's kicked the ball harder than us, and proved to be the evenlual winners.

We do have budding Cricketers as was eYident when we b€t Harding again !o come fi$t in Cricket.

The "think tanks" of our house were ticking, and our hands, legs were surer than any other house.

In Volleyball & Basketball we proved lo be undisputed winners as was evident from the resulc.

We out ran the other houses to emcrge winners of the Long Distance runs with Arnould and hemenacing Harding close "on our heels".

Again we provcd to be "too fif' for the othcr Houses as we again emerged victorious in Athletics

and consolidated our hold on the "Cock House".

Hockey proved to be anotter triumph, and our "Systcmatic co-ordination" and team work provcd

too good for the other Houses.

Well, after all this - I think it had drained us all and therefore it resulted in us not coming hrst in

studies, Amould House had mo many "mugpots" and were descrving winners' Our Seniorhad the'SOLE

DISTINCTION' of getting one point while our Sub-juniors topped.

Finally, 'pe werc the Cock House, aft,er bcating Harding, and all fte tcnsion, drama, nervousness

and hardwork had ended in success for us.

We would like to thank our House master Mr. Guzder and laeron Mr. Popc for helpingand guiding

us and providing that s?ark, which we the boys of Bishop's house converted into the flame of victory.

We wouldalso like m say welcome to Mr. Pope who took ovcr as House masterofthe Bishoy's house

from Mr. Guzder in August fiis year.

Play up Bishop's - hopc you can always lcave the other houses far behind.

HOUSE CAPTAINS, Jauhar

It Bardani

Farewell ! F'arewell I Farew€ll !

Ilre ),ear had coms tro an end and we had to depan" The year sraned for all four Houses in an

enthusiastic way, all houses bcing equal in indoor games.

Then came the football season and we zoomed ahead ofall the houses securing lst place in football.

So this was a gr€at success but did not live long because cricket got us down. In this we were placed

second to Bishop's.Allhough cricket was over we never forgot tlre marvellous century 001 declared) knock by our

Captain Shiv Jauhar. In Voucy Ball and Basketball rre were placed third. This too shattered our hopes

for Cock House.

Soon the athletic season was on and you could see all the Ca Lewis's and Ben Johnsons on the field

practising hard to achieve their aim. Some of our prominent athletes were A Jadhav, Joshi V, Khanna

V and Bandani H who tried their very best but our wishes were not futfilled. We were placed second with

Amould tlrus Bishoy's being successful once again.

In long distance we sailed in the same boat as we did for Athlaics. Finally we came to he l{ockey

season. Many Dyarchands werc practising. This result now madc Bisho!'s lead by 9 poins in the Cock

House totalMany thanks to my colleagues (H. Bandani, V. Patil, S. Kodre' D- Pinto, J. Akkalkotkar) who tried

to get. the house up. we can nevef forgst Mr. R. Smart who would forget to eat his meal fast but nev€r

In he study cup we were placed third; whsn the cock house results were deckired ws were placcd

past three years. Never mind Harding you can still do it. All thc bcst!

MANSFIELD IIOUSE NOTES

House Master : Mr, Buflon Hous€ Captain : Ravinder Uberoi

Though there is not much glory for us to declare but formalities are formalities and have to be

completed. 'Quote' (Merchant of venic€).

In Sooth, I lnow not why I am so sad;

It wearies me; you say it wearies you;

But how caught it, found it, or come by it,What Stufft is made of. where of it is bomI am [o leunI have leamt

This sadness is because ofthe up+oming trend ofgiving up hopeeasily and taking itforgranted

that the old tradition should carry on and that oul esteemed house should not lose its popular but new

found pocition - last.

The first event of the year was football which literally kiled the fighting back spirit in my boys.

Though temporarily we ranked last among all 3 divisons i.e. Seniors, Juniors and Sub'Juniors' But as

I statedbefore tlle setback was temporary and we cameback onto the scene by defeating all other 3 houses

in Badminton in which G. Marolia (f0 B) was our Champ. Overall in indoor games we were placed equal

with the other 3 houses only hcaause of the shattering defeat in T. T.Long distance runs saw trs last in seniors and sub-juniors and 3rd in the juniors and last over

all. Athletics also saw our seniors and sub-juniors last with thejuniors coming 2nd along with Amould.

But we managed !o ke€p the Tug-O-War Trophy with our stmng team led by R. Uberoi (House Captain)

easily defeating the rest of the 3 teams, though the finals with Arnould was not a very easy win and I can

surely state that ifit were not for ths inspiration and guidance provided by our House master - Mr. B uxton

we might not have won.

We ranked frst in Volley-ball with F. Esmaeili playing the best in the t€arn and second overallin Basket/Volley-ball events. Ifyou had been there to witness our volley-ball matches, you would agree

with me that we were superb, but here too the teachers were taken by surprise as if they could not believe

their eyes and some were even heard remarking about it. (This is the Mansfield house reputation)

For us Hockey was a good event with our sub-juniors making it fi$t and seniors 2nd but the

juniors spoilt the show by landing in the ditch - last.

Cricku again was quite dis-appointing, though it was the fint event in which none of our 3

divisions came lasL The Seniors and Juniors came 3rd and the Sub-junion came 2nd.

Well that sums up the year and do I still have to 'Surprise'or 'Astonish' or 'Astound' or

'Shock' you by saying that we came last (ov€rall). But someone has |o come last. It is all a part of the

game. There has to be a loser - after all, though we had a very able administrator. House master -

Mr. Burton - Thanks to him once again and a very able House Captain - R. Uberoi (10 B). Many -a-

dmes we have all heard lvlr. Robefis say at assembly that our House was the best organised among allthc 4 Houses.

(2s)

So !o end this, I have a piece of advice for the remaining Mansfield House boys who will nowrake up our position in the Senior School.

"Try your best and leave fie rest in the hands of the Almighty. Hope for the besl You will get

what you deserve and if you keep trying we will once again be the Cock House". (Ihis year (1987-88)

we Save the other houses a chance. After all, we have been taught not to be selfish, haven't we?)

TUG OF WAR-FINALS-MANSFIELO Vs ARNOULD

LONG DISTANCE RUNS ON THE RACE COURSE

extremely simple. Based on the order of the previous year's mcrit in athletic overall results, the order inmarching was Bishop'q followed by Harding, Arnould and Mansfield.

After the oath-taking ceremony, the Chief Guest declarcd the meet open.

Thus starled the excilement, and everyone's eyes were glued to the Eacks. Al each race, a wavewould go round as the spectators cheered their heroes, hoarsely. Frantically waving arms, grasshoppsswerc now a common sighl Finally if their hero did make the Bpe, you would see $e loyal supportersacting crazy as if in a ftenzy.

In division V, it was easy going for H. Sundaresan, of Amould House, who clinched the 50m. and200m. sprints and along wifi it the Victor Ludorum for ftat divisior.

In division IV, R. Billimoia of Bishop's House worked wonders by winning all the evenrs, i.e. fte100m. 200rn. and 400m. race along with rhe Vicror Ludorum of thar division (of course!).

Division III saw fie birth of a new hero, A. Khanna of Harding House. He swepl through the 200m.and the Long Jump. However, A. Jadhav, R. Agarwal and R. Joshi witi typical Bishopire gdt anddetermination gave bitter resistance, but could not prevent A. Khanna from taking away fte VictorLudorum of that division.

The rac€s in Division II were by far the most spinechilling races of the evcning. This was becausethree athleles were fighting it out for the Victor Ludorum and it was anybody's game. These thre€ wereR. Sapru of Mansfield House, H. Bandani of Harding House and R. Khole of Amould House. Finally,R. Sapm prevailed, but it could be secn from his face tlat it had be€n no easy task. R. Sapru won rhe100m., Long Jump and the High Jump.

Division I showed W. Momin of Bishop's House in the limelighl He had no peer in most of theevents. Amazingly, he placed in every event! He won rhe 100m.,200m.,400m." 800m,,I-ongJump andTriple lump, a clear evidence ofhis athlcdc abiliry. Thus, he won the Victor Ludorum. Special mendonmust be made of the Head Boy Shiv Jauhar who won the shot pur evenl

The long awaited Medley relay was won amidst cheering by Ure favoudtes, Bishop's House,followed by Amould, Harding and Mansfield,

Shortly before the ten-minute tea-interval, the Parents' and Visitors' Race and races for the JuniorSchool were conducted. The parents' and the visitors' race was won by dle pair of Mrs. Ubcroi and Mrs.Dhillon followcd by the pair of Mn. Mohsin and partner. The humorous Junior School races like three-legged races, Jumping Jack, etc. were condoctcd after this.

The Senior relay was won by Amould House, followed by Bishop's, Harding and Manslield.The Junior relay was won by Harding House, followed by Bishop's, Mansheld and Amould.The sub-Junior relay was won by Amould, followed by Bishop's, Harding and lvlansfield"The race ofthe evening however was he relay of the OldBoys, present Boys and our glorious staff!

(l presume they had practised the whole year for this day!). Due to lhe great number ofboys, rhree teamsi.e. H. Seymour's team, K. Whabi's team and A. Polan's eam were formed. It was the Old Boys from thestart. Ourpresent Boys were nowhere close to tlose ultrasonic jcrs. And the staff, Well . . . . I H. Seymour'steam, A Polan's team, the Present boys and the great "Thunders" - our Staffl

The last item on the cards was the tug-of-war finals between Mansfield House and Amould House.The Mansfield House boys were extremely distressed at the poor overa[ performance of their house andso it is not surprising fiat, when Mansfield House won the event in two well-contested pults, theMansfield House supporters became something like spidermen! To quote, "Slow and steady wins tl|erug!"

(31)

Thus, all the events had come to a close and he spirit of "Citius, Altius, Fonius" -- "fastcr, higher

and more strongly"-- had been retained throughout the day.

The overall athletic placings were officially declared. Mansfield had continued successfully isstreak ofcoming founh. Amouldand Harding were secondequal and Bishop's House were the deserving

winners. The order in the final march past was Bishop's tunould, Ihrding (Amould had gained thisposidon by a oss!) and Mansfield.

The woflhy athletes were awarded prizes by Mrs, Padamse€ after which the Principal Mr. Robertsgave a vote of thanks o all those who enabled this annual event to be a success.

The Chief Guest gave a shon but witty spe€ch (o the relief of every one!) and granted one day inholiday o be kept in reserve (dris has become an annual ceremony now !) when asked by the Head Boy,

FOOTBALL

Football, in Bishop's, is a period of time loved by all who take part (On and off the field) but alsodreaded by those who have to make arangernents. Our football season, this year, was unusually long.It commenced with prrctice fc selecticrs for the Schml teams on 8th June and end€d on 1$ Septemberwi6 the end of-t€rm annual match betwecn the Staff and the boys.

Our School bams didn't have many practice matches this year. They were few and far betwe€n. Attimes, a full opposing team did not tum up. However, our otrer regular annual features were keenlyanticipated and many turned out to watch these matches.

Our Inter-class matches began on June 29th and ended on July 271h. Most of the players Ggularlytumed up for fteir marches and there was an interesting game to be wimessed at most of the matrches,

Tbe overall results were :-

Sub-Juniors6C6A5C

While th€ Inter-class matche.s were being played, our School teams wele batding it out, on theSSPMS grounrls, in the Int€r-school football toumament.

Our Seniors played St. Vincent's on July 13th and lost, 0-1. On lTtl July ftey lost !o Don BoscoG2. They, however,,won against Anglo-Urdu 7-0 on lSth July. Somehow they were lucky to berththemselves as runners-up for the 'knock-out' part of the toumamenL

Though ourJuniors lost to SL Vincent's 04, they received a 'walk-over' frorn DoIr Bosco and helda convincing 11-0 viclory, against Anglo-Urdu. So they also qualified fc the 'quarter-frnals'.

Our Minis, as usual every year, displayed the best skill and tractics tha't football requires: They drewlevel at l- l against St. Vincent's and trounced Don Bosco and SL Anthony4-0 and 6-0 respectively. Theyalso found a place in the quarter-finals, followilg in the footsteps of their Senior Schml reams.

In the quaner-Iinals played on 27th July, our Seniors lost but our Juniors and Mini's s,on theirrespeclive matches and wsre tlmugh to the semi-finals. The semi-finals, however, ended any hopes anddreams we may have cherished of being the ultimate victors. On 3rd August, our Juniors and Mini'splayed against SSPMS (boading). They both lost their matches l-2 & 04 respectively. With saddenedheans we retumed to school consoling ourselves that we sr.ill had ano0Er year ahead to achie\re what wecouldn't this year.

If these results dampened our spirits we had other more prestigious victories which raised our spiriafrom the dark pits of gloom. On llth July we had our annual fooball fixtule against St. Peter's,Panchgani. This year, our Seniors wcnt up while their Juniors came down. Both marches had tespectators out of their seats or biting their nails. Our Seniors had a slight edge when rhey won 3-2 OurJuniors won rather easily 5- I .

On lst August, the St. Pe!er's, Mazaga6n, School leam came to play against our School team. Thiswas yet another nerv€shattcring, pulsating match. We finally proved a littJe superior v,/nen ths scoreboard read 2-1 ar the end of the game.

The Inter-House maEhe.s sianed on I lth August and finished on the l3th. Here many tumed out !ocheer for their rcspective Houses. The final result :-

The staff and boys played only on three occasions during the term, On 26th June the staff lost

l-3 and on 3rd July they lost 0-5. In the end-of-term match, all those who warched rcaUy had fieirmoney's worth - The game was hard-fought ard very exciting. The evergreen (fading?) Staff uldmalely

limped back after a l-2 loss.

Though we bid farewell to the football season, we are yet happy because we know the great

excitement and enthusiasm that this game holds fon us in the next year'

SCOUTING IN BISITOP'S

'Be heosed - This mo[o has led the Scouls all over the world towards Intemational pe3ce and

int€grity. Scouts were originally messengers and catriers who carried secrct messages during Wo d War

I from one plac€ to another. Lcd Baden Powell then converted these message-carriers to propagabrs

of peee and lora throughout lhe world.The fi$t camp at Brown Sea Island was in August, 1907 organized by L$d Baden Powell. Since

then the Scouts have grown steadily and spread beyoruhhe frontiers of the country of its birth. Scouting

carne to lodia in 1908 with the esAblishing of the Scouts troop at Pune. The oldest troop in India was

established in the Bishop's School, Pune in 1908. It soon became popular with the boys. (How many ofyou know thu?)

Over the 80 years Scouting has developed in the world tremendously. The Scouting movernent has

s.Fead far and wide and now is present in almost all countries. There are more Intemational camps mdjamborce,s held; and more and more Scouts are me€ting their foreigner brothen'

Scouting in Bishop's has also gown and blossomod over these years, and Bishop's has becn an

acdve member of the Lrcal Association and iS now considered one Of the best troops in Poona. In the

lastrecent yea$ ithasproduced as many as 5 President's Scouts, l5 frstclass scouts and agreatnumbcr

of2nd class scou6 and Tender foot Scouts. The Scour have also represented the school as well as the

country in many nadonal and inlernational meets,

Scouting this year got off wift a bang and with the usual enthusiasm and spirit.

The first el,'ent of this year was a hike to lonavala in mid-September. There were ten of us who

attonded the hike which included our ex,noop leader - s. Deshpande; the others were M. Rajopadhye,

Z. Cursetji, S. Jhamvar, V. Doctor, R. Dalal, Wadiwala, X. Curselji, B. Jhamvarand S. Kanakia. we went

all the way up m the Duke's Nose which gave the boys a good hiking and a mountaineering experience.

After . e tiring ctimb what could be better than a swim in the lake? The water was cool and the boys

responded to it as parched land does !o rain. It could not be an overnight trip and we had !o reum !o Puns

that evening. Nevenheless it was a good hiking experience and everyone enjoyed itThe next event of the year was a camp held at the local head quarters. It. was a thre€ day camp and

two orher schools had also come - hey were Chowksi High School and Hindi High School. Everyday

(3e)

activities ofcmlcing, clcaning, worling and leuning were done very eagedy by the boys. The camp-fireit€ms also olmed out v€ry good but the mo$ hard parl which was gle night duty, also went off wellwilftout Eouble, It was a good camping expedence.

Ths n€xt event was an ovemight hike to Khanrlala hills. The boys had gone with lhe other Scouuofthe open roop ofComnander Ggdrej from 0p Ilcal Association. The hike was very good especiallythe night spent in the Rajmachi Valley of Khandala.

The occasional criesoffte wild dogs sent shiv€rs through their spinesbutirgave hem arcal caftpingexperienc€.

These were all of the outd@r ad.ivities, but the indoor activities continued $ith moro boyr passing

lheir tests. This year 2 more boys passed rheir First Class. They are P. Tripethi 0$d M. Rqiopadhye urdahey are going ahead,

The fete was a g€at zuccess for us, and tsue !o toditidr our combined stalls neftd far morc thanany Class.

The Scous also continued their s€rvice to School by doing traffic duties on the Annual Pdao daye,the SporE alay, ftefounders day and also continued theirev€ry day raflic conEol duty by lhe school gaie.

Lsstbut not the leastany way the ecomplishment achieved by our Scouts is largely due to tho neverendinghelpgivenbyouable Scoutlvlasters. Ths Scoutr€poncan neverbe comple{e withoutmentioningMr. A, Fernandes and Mr. S. Femandes, although lhe formerpassed away to his heAvenly aMe thls ye3r.Mr. A. Femandes has always helped us in times of ne€d. lvlr. S . Femandes too has mken a very activepan in bringing our Scouts troop to where i[ is roday.

Our Special thanks to our ex T.L.S. Deshp€nde in the help rndered by him,. This is our lasr y€arin School, but their memories embedded in our minds can neverbe erased and we hope to keep on helpingthe Foop by doing whatever we are capable of.

rOI'NDER'S CEIJBRAfiONS WEEK - 1987-88

Ocober- whata glorious month! Notonly because Mahatma Gandhi was bom in this month but also

because, five years prior to the lead€x's birth, a glorious instiurtion had been founded. Tha[ was in Oclober

1864, when the Bishoy's Schml had been founded by Bishop llarding,I.ord Amould and Col. Manslieldfor educating the children of military olficers. Thus began a new chapter, a glorious chapter, which is as

d^,,bng aft9r lZ years, as it had be€n at rhe dme of irs foundation.

The School has cenain traditions which are celebraed annually with the characteristic spirit and

enthusiasm of Ihe Bishopites. One such occasion is the Founder's Celebrations week, which is a homage

and a Eibute to the founding fathers of the School. The 'week' extends over three days (the first invariablybeing a wednesday). However, o make these three days the most commendable in tlre whole academic

year, over a month's loil and sweat is put in.Z€ro - periods began soon after the LC.S.E. selecdon tests, but, frankly speaking. the work done in

these periods was far in excess of zero!

The week approached. It was Wednesday the l4th. The Thanksgiving Service was held at 9.30 a-m.

in SL Mary's Church. The Church was sparkling clean. The floral decoradons carried out by a workingpany ofthe ladies ofthe Office staffwere marvellous. Fruits and flowen adomed thearea arcund the altar,

while the candelabra glistened through fte picnuesque sained glass windows.

The solemnity of the Church stopped the Head Boy from humming Madonna's "True Blue"! The

Head Boy, Shiv Jauhar, and the House Captains exchanged nervous grins before trey slowly marched

forward to the accompaniment of the sonorous organ music, bringing forward the School and House

colours !o be ble,ssed. This was followed intermiaendy by Bible reading and singing of hymns. The choir

boys, drough half nervous, put up a brave front and on the whole performed so well that many people, !o

their surprise, found themselves commending them.

This was followed by a sermon by the Principal who kindly pointed out ttn wrong palhs !o whichwe, the younger generation, are susceptible and wamed us against them. The sermon is given in fullelsewhere in the magazine.

Once outside, the prefects were engrossed in sopping boys from sneaking away, as the chairs had

ro be aranged for the P.T. display the same evening (some boys were rounded up hiding in the toilet!).Labr, the Head Boy and some Prefecls went to distdbuF the fruit at the Panch Howd Orphanage.

One thing was quite apparent at the service - the amplifier was incredible; it caught everything on

the air, including AIR, Poona!

The School exhibition was held from I1.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. and from after the P.T. display to 7.30

p.m. Afiq all lhe hdd work to arrange fieir rooms, the masters had enough "pep" to smile when Parents

tumed up. The Craft room was a Paradise with all the works of our budding craftsmen. Even the Bishop's

School "critics" were giving off "Oohs' and "Aahs" Out I'm not sure whelher Uley were watching the

anifacts or the girls from St. Mary'sl)The History, Geography, Biology, Chemistry and Physics (for heaven's sakedon't Seta heart attack!)

rooms were all fantastic and lilled with 'Jango stuff' (as Bishopites call it!). Not to be forgotlen are the

tiny toB who really broughr life to the Gymnasium widl their handicrafE. On the whole, the fact was

proved that Bishop's School is non-pareil.

fie P,T. display, which was scheduled for 4.45 p.m., was presided over by Mr. P.R. Sundaram,

Dircctor, Defence Estates, Southem Command and Mrs. B. Sundaram. The occasion began with the

march past to the enfiralling music of the Southern Command Band. This was followed by a number of

(41)

rltthmb movements of the body, ftom the kindergarten !o class 9. The last item - mass p.T. waspetformed by the boys of classes 8 and 9, bringing the display o an excellent conclusion. It was reallya fcr$ for the eyes. This was followed by speeches by the Chief Guesr and rhe hincipal and the ttreecusbmsry cheers for the Chief Guest" after which everyone went to see the exhibition except a fewboarders, who caught strategic points on the Basketball coun for lhe Fete, the next day Le. Thursday rhel5th.The fete was opened by Mrs. Poonawallaatg.45 a.m. Despite the absence ofourpleasant neighbours,the girls from Sr {ary's, an enormous crowd had collected at the stialls. There were eatables, ddnks,games like hoqla, chocolate whe€I, a 'Jumble Sale" organised by the lunior School Eachers, and a hostof other things, (Ir is said thar sales reached a mammoth Rs. 35,000D The old boys, in their usualflamboyant spirit, dominated the entire show (their enthusiasm went to such an extent that we had a few"bombing" cases!)

Finafly, at about 2.00 p.m., when not be€ause of dwindled enthusiasm but b€cause of exhaustedstocks and coupons, the Fete had to be called to a close. Another day had gone off well!

Finaly on Friday the l6th the last day of Foundels week we had the long awaited lhst Vs ltesentand Past Vs Staff Cricket marches from 9.00 a.m. !o 1.00 p.m. And after rhe loil in the sweltering heat,a srmp0rous lulch awaited aI &e teans back in Schml!

Thus, Founder's celebrations week 1987-88 came o an end and rhe Diwali Holidays began wirh anincrease of one day which had been granted by the Chief Gues afer rhe P.T. Display. However, lhosewho'bunked" came in on a Saturday (poor villains!)

PRINCIPAL'S SERMONQhanksgiving Service 1987)

"May fte words of my moud| and the meditation of our h€afis be always acceplable in Thy sight OLord our streng$ and our Rede€mer"

One hundred and twenty thl€e years ago the Chaplain of Poona was a priest loown as Rev. Gt.Fenton and he was in charge ofthis Church known as St. Mary's Church. Alsoat that time ther€ were aboutfifteen boys whose parents were Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers etc. and who wene notentided o any regimental facilities in rcspect of education etc. Rev. G.L. Fenton was deeply concemedabout he moral and mental growth of rhese boys so he apFoached the hen Bishop, @ishop llarding) odo something for these boys. As some of you may know, it was at lhe instance of fte l....rd Bishop tiatthe 'Commander-in-Chief (Lord Manslield) besrined himself , and in 1864 wirh a grant of Rs. 500/-, aglobe, some books and fumitue, a school known as the Poona Day School for boys was stafl,ed in aroomin the Army barracks. So, i[ was he deep concern ofa priest for the moral and mental well being ofa fewboys in his parish that resulted in lhe birth of this school, which later came to be lnown as The Bishop'sSchool, and it was because ofthe acdve concern of men like Samuel Briedy that rhe school was nurureddrrcugh lhe eady bnd€r years and moved !o its prqsent sile. Thercafl€r the cae and continuing corrernof headmasters such as Mr. H.C. McNe€ (26 years), Mr. T.W. Hyder (7 yean), Rev. AR. C.oope((25 yean) and Mr. A. E. Lunn (26 years) resulred in this school growing in stature and in su€ngrh. Andov€r the last twelve decades a host of mast€rs and boys have shared this common concern and made their

(42)

THE ANNUAL P. T. & GYMNASTICS DISPLAY

TH E ANNUAL & GYMNASTICS DISPLAY

inraluable and lasting colthibution to this School which they loved and cherished. Bishop's is what ir istoday because of the concem and unstintod labour of these men, and because God walked witlr them andblessed lheir labours.

The @ concem love and rabon of many during its rong and noble history have made this a goodscbool, the inlluelpe of which goes far and wide. This schml is like a field which rhe l,rd hath blessed.adched by the care and concern of those whose memories can never die.

Nox, we are part and pacel of this good and noble heritage. And the thought for our meditation is

- are we here meroly !o enjoy the labours of those who have gone beforc and be proud to be here, or dowe have aresponsibility as well? we present here today cannot escape our task and oulcalling to be de€plyconcemed and moved b act out of a desp concem. I believe that God requires us o be deeply concernedto pres€rve and guard and cherish all that is best in the school, deeply concemed to add new d.imensionsb it, genuinely concem€d ftatwedo sonething for 0re society in which our school exists, and mostde€plyconcerned about our own gnrsonal lives.

Firstly then it must be our individual and collective concern to preserve all that is best in ou school,the good discipline, decent habits and manners, the good traditions, good academic standards, the healthysponing spirit on the playground, and above all our daily assembly founded in an unshakable belief thatchdst and the Gospel of l-ove is fie cente of Bishop's School, poona. In order to pres€rve what is goodit is necessary to cast out evil, !o root out bad tradition thar may have crept in, to era<ricate bad langriage,back-biting, lying, chearing and comrption of any nature that may have taken hold. Evil enters a schoolnot because the majority want irbut when they are silent observers to the few that force it on others. Evilalways makes a hasty retreat when good boys stand up against it To preserve all that is good in it weconstandy need God's protection and guidance, we need His presence which drives away the evildestructive forces. Gr€at institutions, indeed cities and kingdoms have crumbled because they tumedaway ftom the saving sustaining grce of God. It must always be our desire that God should clesnse andsEen$hen our school, and with God'S help we can and we should preserve lhis goodly heri6ge.

secordly we must be concerned to add new dimensions to iL A school while remaining embeddedin values which are cbangeless and eternal must be receptive !o changes for the good. But h€re is whe!€we have to be extremely caeful. The world is undergoing rapid changes and these winds of change arcsweeping across our land as well. Society is in a flux and we have to beware of modern cults that makewhat is obsc€ne attsactive and acceFable, beware of the video cult that would change our beliefs indecency, change ou belief in God. we have to accept the benefits of the new technology and scientificthought withou! compromising our values. yes we must labour to add new and good dimensions that willtake this school which we all love so dearly to grearer heighn of glory. New buildings, repair of old ones,new playgrounds, well equipped laboratories, a bigger library are some of the new dimension we thinkof. I will venture to add that the school community will automatically grow in new and lovely when itsStaffand boys add new spiritual dimensions dimensions to it individually and collectively. The image rhatthe School bears is the image we all give to it by our lives and collective involvement in iL If we are alllatched on to the right values and goals, this is bound to reflect in the life of the school and the image itprojecb to the world. I am always proud of my boys who have done well in all walks of life all over theworld" but my joy knows no bounds when people tcll me that they are decent, and I am very sad whenthey bring sonow by deeds of shame.

And rhirdly we mu$ be concemed and strongly moved !o do something about the evils that havetaken hold of society around us,llany ofyou will hold high positions in rhe years to come and have muchwealth, and I hope none of you will become blind !o the needs of society around you. I hope and pray that

(43)

sorne of you u/ill rememb€r that God hss catled you, lhe privilege4 the rich and pow€rfrrl, to be

conc€med about the evils that be,set our seiety. Dowry deaths ard Victims of tqrcrism have become a

ilaily affair, persecution of women and the lower castes evoke liule anger and litde response, bonded

labour ald child muriages de taken for granted in many places. Will you be cont€nt and happy in your

Five-Str homes and hotels when the cries of Sati Victims rend the air ofRajasthan, when bus passengen

are burchered in the Punjab, when Ilarijan villages are bumt in Bihar, when bonded labour breaks human

lives in most States? My young friends not only is therc dange,r that you may become insensitive to these

evils, brt there is the g€ater danger that some of you may one day accept and be guilty of perpetrating

evils such as receiving and giving bribes, of cheating and comrption in high placas. I sincerely pray that

every Bishopite will be sensitive to the cries for mercy, sensitive to the needs of the victims of drought

and flood. that they wil &cide firn y not to be t€mpted by big money, by Bofors-type, dishonest deals,

anG that they will have so sensitive a conscierrce that each one will be stined to render help where needed

and that every worthy cause will utract their atlention. I pray that Bishopites wiU be activgly involved in

any fcum that seeks to fight cornrption and evils of any nature.

Some ofyou mightsay whathave we to do with Harijans andOutcastes? Whatcan wedo aboutna&ral

calamities tike drought and floods? What can a few scattered Bishopites do against the age old ways and

beliefs ofthe communities and tribes rhat make our nation? Just stop fc a momentand think that ifit were

not f6 the faith ard love of our predecessors we would not have his fine school. Can we in the face oftlris do so little thatitis notworth eloing, or give so little that itis not worth living? Rememb€rGod's wcds"As every man hath received ihe gift, even so minister the same one to another." As oihors who did not

know us cared for us, so must we care for othea not known to us. To whom much is given ftom him much

is expocted, ftom all of us in proponion o the gifa and powe.rs. If we can do more but fail !o do it, God

will judge us ecodingly.t ** o"

" 616",1t reck and it will take long to loot o.rt the evils of nepotism, comrption, terlodsln,

black martet ard so on, but this must not detq us to do our part eamestly and diliSpndy. Day by day we

mltst do olr tasts of charity and kindness, comfming the sick, clothing the naked, teaching the ignaant,cheering the faint-heated, b,ringing peace and hope and jny.

And finally our deepest concem must naturally be for our own salvation, for when the final qntain

comes dol,n on orr lives vee shall stand befor€ God to rcceive salvation or condernnation. It is rh€reftreof fte ufinost importance that each one of us takes care of his soul. This involves our faith, our spoerh,

our inrcr thoughts, our etions, our integrity, indeed the life we live.A young king was quanelsome and gave no peace to a wise old king ofa neighbouring country. The

old king 4pea.led for friendly Blations but in vain; inst€ad the young king started a war. The oldking was

capturedandbrought in chains befor€ the victor. The oldking felt sorry fo the young n er butpretended

!o be angy, and the young king begged for his life. So the old man told him "I will give you a chance,

Tomonow you will be given a jug of water, full to the brim and you must carry the same ftom one end

of the main stse€t !o the other without spilling a drop. If you do not succeed you will lose your life." The

next day fie prisoner started with a jug ful of water, around him soldiers to guard him, and behind him

the executioner with a sword, a Errible reminder that he would be beheaded on the spot if h€ failed. The

old king had given orders ihat on one side of the street there should be a mob !o cheer the prisoner and

on the other side a mob to jeer him.The prisoner surceeded, he did not spill a dmp. The old king asked him "When so many p€ople *'ere

mocking you, youdid notansw€r them?"The young man answered 'T hadnottime for that,I hadto watch

my jug". ' But did you not thank the ones that cheercd you?" - the old king asked. "What business had I

(44)

with them, fteir acclamation could not help me, I was more concemed with my jug of water," answercdtho young king.

The old king set him Aee widr this advice "You have been entrusted wirh a soul. you have ro bringit back to the Lord whole and clean, and rhat is tle only rhing that counrs. If you don'r succeed, you perish.Do rpt soe& the cheap applause of man and do not worry if they mock you. Watch your soul."

And so my frbnds I pray today dut God wiu stir us to be deeply concemed to preserve our goodlyherilage b be coocemed to add new and b€audful dimensions !o it, to enhance iB prestige and glory, !oenhrge its usefulness, that this concern will further drive us to futfill our social obligations o Societyaround us, dtat it will enable us to root our social evils, and lhat above all our concem will culminae inus looking inwad to the sancdlication ofour own souls so that we may in tbe end be worthy of the $eatprize of everlasting life, through orn Iord and Saviorn Je,sus Chrisl

PATCIIIE - f,'OND MEMORIES

"Thereitis......... ", "Howcute......... ", were the few remarks that made me come out of myclass. I saw a number of boys clustered together watching something eagerly. I came out further to lookar lhe object of rheir cudosity.

It was a cute litrle dogjumping up at the swooping kites and ften frolicking in the sand. This was myfirstsightofPatchie - ourschoolper Yes!aschoolpet, as, though lrifr. Beaman looksafterlbtchie,.She"is always among the boys, giving them amusement after some tiring hours in class.

Patchie always grrced ev€ry school function with h€rpresence - may itbe on the games field duringathl*ics and lorg distance runs, or egging the boys on or during more grave occasions like tlre prayerassembly when she would assist the hincipal with her "Woof, Woofl"

Overthefifteenoddyears,Patchiehadbecomemore thanadog to theschool - shewaspanandparcelof the school. To my knowledge. she was the most amiable crcature on this eaflh. Her gentle waysencouraged even the Kindergaften childrcn to pot her. Actually, I don't have words enough to show howmuch Patchie meant to the school.

Patchie was a watchdog oo, and an excellent one at that. I recall Mr. Beaman having said that hiswrist - watch, shoes and othcr things could have been solen had it not been for Patchie's vigilrrEe atdtimely "alarm call".

All good 6ings lhat are must come to an end, so too Pabhie became incurably ill, mainly becauseof hcr great age, and had to be put to resr on 9rh April, 1988 - a black day in the history of B ishop's School.

Though PaEhie has gone into the etemal, no one in Bishop's School can ever forget her. I csn vividlyr€call her trvinklingeyes, - calm, eloquentyet full ofaffection, that wagging friendly tail and, above all,that aura of innocen! l€nder, selfless love around her face.

Quoting (with modifications) Jim Corbett s "Robin' - ?atchie - dle biggest hearted and mostfaithfirl fiend man ever had - has gone to the llappy Hunting Grounds, where "we" shall find her waitingfor "us" (fte Bishopites)'.

Quizzes in Bishop's school have always had that place of honour with all Bishopitas,., qng- ov-cr theyears, they have not lost theh charm and delighdulness which attract even the (supposed) dullards.-

Bish6pites have represented the School in Inter-school Quiz competitions with geat success and

have achieved lofty ideals. I am told that the v€ry sight ofthe maroon blazrr andlhe air of confidence put

on by our mastertrains is distressing o the participants ftom other Schools!

Quiz-time in sishop's commenccd on lhe last day of the Terminal Examinatiom in Docember, when

the Prcliminary mund for the P.T.A. General Krcwledge cup began in two sections - The Imiors and theSeniors. This is an Inter-House compeddon and a leam of tfu.e is chosen ftom each house - Arnould'Bishop's, I{arding and Mansfield.

The Senior Quiz Final was held before the Junior Quiz Final because the hall was not available on25rh January. On 26th of January, Republic Day, The Senior Quiz Final commenced- First - Mansfrieldand llarding were pitted against eeb odler and Mansfield snatched up a surprising victory overlhe-morefavoured tlarding House.In the other semi-final Amould srcle aconvincing victory overBishop's Housc'

In the 'Grana Final', amid$ a tense aunosphere, Amould picked up an initial lead, but 0rc underdogs'lvlansfield House drd not give an inch of ground and liought back to win by 23 -12!

The nextday, theJuniorFinals werr held in a tough fightafter thcone-sided fmal ttreday befors. Theirexpectations weie realised, for tlre winner Bishop's House had to struggle in the semi-finals and the finals.-

On the I lth of February, an anxious goup of Bishopites rcactpd.hyola School with our €ach€r,Ivtr. Beaman. They had to compete in the prestigious Engima G.K. Competition. Aftera gruelling writbnpreliminary round, dre Bishopites sat quite dejected in a comer, quitr sure that they had losf the batde.

i{alf an horu later, the scene was quirc different, when they realised thar they had reached rhe last fow.Tension was on the fac€s ofV. Srinivasan and S. Nesargi when they tooh theirseats amongst the finalists,but they managed to put on a smile !o their even more aense Biihop's supporterc, only about 20-m away.However, this tension soon melted away and the Bishopites cruised away !o a victory, ftough after some

fight from the lryola's rcam, who had a horde of"loyal" suppcters on lheir back - Oh! you should have

s€en lhe tv,/o gdnning away as boy afrcr boy rushed !o congxatulate them.Thus ended a short but successh s€ascn of Quiz in Bishop's. This anicle would be incomplete

without conveying our sincere thadks to a man - a cheerful and corsldcuous p€rsonality about whompages can Ue fitea wirtr praise and yet they would be insufficient - Mr. Beaman- who was a continuoussource of encouragement to the boys in moments of depression.

Thank you, Sir!

THE CHOIR

Come Septembcr and the Fesdvar of school choin, a group of young smgcrs ganer at dre musicroom of the Bishop's School, pune.

Ifone passcd 0remusic room about.a month bcforc refesdvar one would hear squeals a,,d squcalsfrom the room.

But a score of days latcrone wourd rrnd thc same boys singing somothing quite to the contrary. Butof coursc no one at that 6me realises how much effon has becn

"onr.ibut"d to."".h this levcl of pcrfcct

harmony.

The Teachers, - N{rs. Jorty, Mrs. postwalra, Mrs. Daruwalla and Mr. Beoman - can be heardshouting, thcir voices hoarse when a boy sings anothcr's part. The piano can be hcard at firsl as lhe onlyl.hing in iune wifr the song while the amarcurs sing E' Major instcad of 'c' Minor. But larer a singr;mclodious sound fills the air.

singing fever soon catches on an<l the rcachers invariabry find the choir boys humming songs in theclass room.

But even after the festival, choral singing continues for the franks_grvng service.The selections ofsongs has always becn exccptional as this tinc for the prize Day and Festival we

sang a tribute to Danny Kayc, a sclection of songs from the famous musical Hans christian Andcrsen.Thc boys must be congratulated for pu(ting up an cxcellcnt show. B I above adl Mrs. Jolly, Mrs.

Postwalla, Mrs. Daruwalra and Mr. Beaman nced a special hank-you fiom the boys for whom puttingup such a show alone would not be Dossible.

Just then, the door bell rang. We almost blanched to hear it. Our hear$ beat fast. I nudged my friend!o answer he bell, but he flady refused. I mustered up my courage and went 10 the dmr taking care hatI did not fall a victim to our own Eaps!

I groped around wildly and blindly. My eyes were buming honibly. And then I stepped on the cacti. Istumbled around howling all the while and then my foot went on lhe hot iron which made me jump inpain. As I did so, I banged against the second door. Down came the block of steel and pinned me to the

Suddenly, the thought of the dacoits came back to us. Now, we were more helpless than ever. I couldnot conccal the fear this time and I frandcally told my friend to put on the radio, with the optimistic hopc

that the dacoits would have becn caught by now.

THE PLIITE OF GOLD

Once upon a time a wonderful plate madc of Gold fell from Heaven into the court of a temple at

Benares, and on the plate these words were inscribed. "A gifl from Heaven to him who lov€s best"' Thepriests at once made a proclamation thit every day at twclve o'clock, all who would like o claim the plate

should assemble at the temple, to have lheir kind deeds judged.

Ewry day for a whole ycar all kinds of holy men, hermi6, scholars and nobles came and rclated to' thepriests theirdeedsofcharity, and thepriests in solemn council heard theirclaims. Atlast they decidedthat the one who seemed b be the geatest lover ofmankind was a rich man who had that very year given

all his wealth to the poor. So they gave him ihe plate of gold. But when he took it in his hand, it tumedto weightless lead; though, when hc dropped it in his am^zement on to he floor, it became gold again.

For another year clirimants came, and the priests awarded the prize three times, but lhe same thinghappened, showing that Heaven did not consider these men worthy of the gifi.

Meanwhile a large number ofbeggars camc and lay about the tcmple gate hoping that the claimantswho came would give them alms rc prove they were wonhy of tle golden plate. It was a good thing forthe begga$ becausc the pilgrims gave 0rem plenty of money, but they gave them no sympathy nor even

a look of pity.

At last a simple peasant who had he€Id nothing about tlre plate of gold came; and he was so touchedby the sight of the miserable bcggars, that he went and when he saw a poor blind and maimed wrech atthe temple gate he knelt at his side and took his maimed hands in his and comforted him with his kindwords. when the peasant came into fte temple, he was shocked !o lind it full of men boasting of theirkind deeds and quanelling with the priests.

Onepriest who held the Golden plate in his hand, seeing the peasant standing there, beckoned to him;and he peasant knowing notlring about the plal€ took it in his hands. At once it shone out with thre€ timesiB former splendour, and the priests said "Son, the gift is yours for you Love Besl".

THE EAGLE'S SIIADOW

Pierre and his men trudged along the rough trail ofone of Africa's worstjungles. They were in scarch

ofthe ancient Mwambi treasure which was in thisjungle. Many had tded before but never reumcd alive.Some of Piene's mcn were afraid that they would meet ftc same fate.

"Why do we have to search for the reasure?" queried Russel. "Don't you know what happened tothe othen?"

"Shut up", growled Pierre, "When we find hc lrcasure you'll have so much money that you'll fearnoding again."

"But how are we going to find lhe treasure?" askcd Black.

"How many dmes do I have !o tcll you this?" rcplied Pierre.

"According to the old Mwambbi scroll there is a riddle. It's some what like tllis - where thc shadow ofan unreal but living eagle is cast in the light of thc hunlcr's moon, the treasue, which spclls doom, shallbc found."

(60)

Pi€rre's men shuddered at ftis. Many wa ed .otum backbulpierrckepttrcm arbay with the rhoughtof the money they would gel Encouraged they carried on..'When are we going to divide the money?" asked Black.

- . "what are-you thinking of, piene?", askcd Russel. "Are you devising a way of how to get thc burkof the Eeasure?" At this everyone laughed."No" replied Piene.

soon they came to a ctearins and they decided to pitch camp there. They had a meagre dinner ofP:TT.:-..C1^.fl1len-al_excep-r

A JOURNEY THROUGH FOG....

It was a wint€r Saurday e,r'efring. I had Ea\€Ied on my bigrcle from fie village whcre I lirc to the

burnot Oiffc.nnt torn the majority of clody days in Kastrmir. I was tlrereoc comiderably disUted ql

coming o$ of [E Cinema d d;sk ao find thal the buildings ur rhe olrer side of the road were merely blurs

of misty light fr,om fte illuminacd Shop wirdorvs, ard rfW it was impmbb b see tnse lhan a few )'ads

in ary direoicr.

Ttrc jo:nry horne wasrt going !c be pleas|nl tlowsver, I krew no orp vvell €oottgh b invite myself

fc fp nighf so I set off lttricving my cycle.

In fie steels the rvay was very simple with tralfic rnt as heavy as rsnl but emuS to give me a

feering of conpanirship. After I left rhe lasr hoose, I felt alqp in the whole universe. TlErc u/asnl a

Kmwing rlrc rud well, I was confident of rcaching horne safely despits tEse ccrditiotts, but smn

I hmped ov€r uneven gmrnd ad trasily disnounted to rEcorlnoire my pcitian

(66)

Nothing was visible, but my feet old me I was not on rhe smooth mam road as lhere were ,uts andpot-holes in abundance. somehow I musr have strayed n a lane. I decided !o retum hotding the handle-bars in one hand. I trotted on, soon I e-ncountered branches and altcred my direcdon a little, inry to bumpagaist a-solid wall and let my cycle fall. panic seized me as I rcrrievedit" I stood for u rno**t o. t*ouncenain how ro proceed. As I edged myselfround to feel what I had bumped ino I found it to be a fence-a slrong' well-made wooden one-around a garden. I become hopeful o ieam I was in rhe approach ofa private house.

, cautiously moving along the fence, I arrived at a sbne wall, and here I could faintly discem the lightof a cunained window. I did some rapid calcularions which herp€d me amve ar the main door. I wasinvited in by a middle-aged kind lady.

Moments later, I was searcd in a cheerful room by a warm fire telling them about the adventures Ihad had. when I was fully warmed and refreshed, ahe mas@r of the house, a farmer, took me o a cerainpoint on the road from where I arrived back home safely.

Thus my joumey ended without mishaD.

we excitedly setded into it.

On the way we stopped at the Eagle Flask Faciory. We were thrilled !o sce workers blowing glass'

shaping glass and making vessels. Thcir guest housc kindly offered us breakfast to which we added our

own snacks which we were carying, We all ate heartily.

After this brunch we liule Cubs were taken to the "Lion's Dcn". This was our hotel at Lonavala. Each

group was given one room. Ths hotel was clean and comfortable. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Kohli for

looking after us so well,

Two older boys went to lay racks for l-racking which was great fun. Then we went to the private zoo

whcre we saw colourful birds. After dinner wc made a small camp Iire, of twigs, rags and leaves, and

we played gamis around it.

ON LEAVING BISHOP'S

Well, this is the rhing which enlers the mind of every Bishopiie on finishing I.C.S.E. Nearly every

studcnt thinks how can he live wifiout lhe sldped tic and ths bclt with the mitte on it. @xcept, ofcourse'

.the hefects and /rchool Monitors with their rcd tics !) However, they know that uldmately they have to

pan with them.

I have spentjust two ycars in Bishop's, and havc found that it has become an inseparable part ofmylife. I have been so affected by tho kadirions of this school, that I can'l bear o think of life without

Bishop's.Ijustcan'tftinkotlcaving that school, which has cherished and fulfilled so many of my dreams.

Then there is the staff, w ho have made us students not only iheir disciples but also their good friends.

I would like to thank lik, Robcrts, Mr. Beaman, Mr. Guzdcr, and ths whole of the tcaching staff alBishop's, who have made my short stay at Bishop's a really mcmorable one. However, I do not want l,o

leave out the Prefects and Monitors, bolh of this acadomic ycar and the last, who have always kept my

hair, shoes and uniform in ?erfcct Shape'.

ln one of his Daily Notices, Mr.Rrobcrts remarked ftat we students get only [ha! much out of the

school as we give it. However, in my case, I have found that I have got out much more from Bishoy's

(76\

than that which I have con'ibuted to i!. The love, affcction, knowledge, and above all discipline, and aIthat I have acquircd from Biship's are more or less like a loan tome, which I am sure I cannol retum.evonwifi the best of my effons.

Well, so long Bishop's! I shall nevcr forget youl

In $e end, I would like to quole a famous line from the School Song;

?lay up Bishop's, never let our colous fall!,

THE HISTORY OF INDIAN SATELLITES

Afrcr the hurch of he IRS - lA an March l?h, 1988, India bccame Urc fifrit nafun in rhc world.and lirs annng dcvcloping counrieg to have ils own opcratioru{ rcmoe sersing sarcllitg in spacc. Itis India's tenh ercllite in spacc.

India has conp a bng way silrcc rhe laurhing of its fxst saD[ire - Aryabhala on April l9h, 1975.AryabluA whicl was laurctrcd by thc Sovics, enicd tnee experimenb which wcrc inlcrdcd todevcbp irdigemus c4abilities in sdle[ire building.

(7e)

Aryabhaa was followed by Bhaskara I which was India's first saollite for scarch obscrvation. It was

launched on June 7, 1979 from the Soviet Union. Thcsc satellites werc followcd by the Rohini Serics,

the first of which was larrnched in July 1980. The Rohini D-1, launched by SLV'3' India's first

developmental llight, collapscd duc to a low injection altitude. I

India's first tete-communications satellite was APPLE (Airline passenger payload equipmcnt) Itwas launched from French New Guinca on June l9th, 1981 and complemd its mission succcssfully.

This was followed by INSAT-IA which collapscd. Its follower INSAT-IB is still operating in space.

Another SLv satcllite collapsed in 1987,

Now the IRSIA which weighs 9?5 kgs. and costs 675 million rupees has been lcft ino space. This

satellire is built by ISRo (ndian space Research organisation.) It is circling at fic hcight of 9o1 kms

and take,s 103 minutes for cach orbit. It is designed to rcmain in sprce for a minimum of two ycars.

I hope that the Indian space programmc continues in thc direction of succ4ss in thc years to come

and India mhieves self reliance in space tcchnology.

EXPERIENCTS OF THE TIIIRI, KIND

Tlp de'Merable Manor has a long and eerie history. My friends and I, having read about rhis highhouse falling o ruins, and having a repuadon for its being haunted frequendy by irs last olvner LordRsephel de'Merable, decided ro put this slory ro the tesl

Ws peked our fiings and before we tnew ft, we w€re at the draw bridge of the forbidding Manor.we waemet by an exquisitery dressed man with finely

silrar ribbons cun ed a! the knees, as was the hshion,around 165 years ago.The man asked us what we wanted, and we tord him rh* we were avid ghost and Eeasure hunters.

on h€adng that u'is house was repu&d for i.. weird noises and funny sensa[ons, we thought that it wouldbe nice o say 'How d'you do' o Lord de,Merable.

This queer gendeman nok us through the house, and bld us about each r@m. some of these storieswere quiie fascinating - it wassaid that the man who murdered the Lod walked the caridos every nightas lF grievedforl'hat he had done. Thedrawingroom was tbe prace whereAnn Boleyn had tastsarLroreshe was executed. She is said .o galrop down the conidors and inro the hall in a carriage pu[ed by sixblack headless horses. At last we came to tord De'Merabre's bedroom - the place where hed beenmurdered. The story we heard is too horrifying to repeal

It was seven oblock in .thc moming. we packed our things up and thanked the gentreman who sokindly had taken us on a tour of the whore house. on being asked by one of us - Tell me Sir, how do youknowallthis?" herepliedquie y - "Because I am lord Raephcl de,Merable'. so saying he quiedy wariedthrough the wall.

. AMANFROMMARS

One SaNrday night I was siuing on my terrace, Iooking al the stars. I was wondering what todo during fie next few days as my parents had gone on vacation and I had holidays.

S uddenly I saw a faint yellow light in the sky. At first I thought it was a stat falling; $en I thought"do sta$ ever fall?" I started waEhing the bright light. It was coming closer and closer. Then I notic€dit was something like a flying saucer. As it came closer four small legs came out of the machine and tomy surprise it landed nearly in the middle of my garden.

I rushed down the stain and into the garden and saw the dmrof the flying sauceropcn.Itopenedvery slowly, making a "b€etrbeep-b€€p" sound.

When the door opened a ladder swished out and a queer man walked out. He had two red andblue lighLs on his head and was short and green in colour. He had Goblin-like ears. He held somethinglike a gun in his hand. He was looking around when an owl flew out of a r€e hooting loudly. The mantumed around and shot fte owl with the gun. A tiny stream of light from lhe gun hit the owl and it felldown dead. I went closer !o the man and he signalled me o come even closcr. Then he held out his legand signalled me to shake legs! I held out my leg and shook legs. I asked him his name. In answer he madea strange buzzing sound.

I tmk him inside my house and gave him sandwiches, checse and buuer. He did nor likeanylhing but drank two botdes of milk which he enjoyed. Afterwards I gave him a book on leamingEnglish. He r€ad it as it if were nothing; "frnrr' wenr the pages and he finished it and then he srarledspeaking. We talked and played for over two houni afrcr thal his watch shned b€eping. Then he toldme Ihat he must leave. He gave me something somewhai like a computer and said "I am a man from Marskeep this thing as a gift from me." Then he went inside his ship waved gmdbye and look off.

These days when I show my porents the computer from Ma$ and how I got it and met lhe manfrom Mars they laugh md laugh, but never believe me.
